Paws n Run

Paws n Run is a working dog-exercise facility that's become something of a talking point in the Aberdeenshire area, just a short drive from Forfar. It's genuinely one for the dog-obsessed - a proper setup where you can watch dogs being put through their paces, and if you've got your own pooch, you can get them exercised by people who actually know what they're doing. The facility itself is functional rather than fancy - think open fields, agility equipment, and handlers who clearly care about doing the job well. You're not coming here for a sit-down cafe or a gift shop; you're coming because your dog needs a decent run or some training, or you're curious about how professional dog handlers work. It works best as a spot to break up a longer driving day if you've got a dog in tow. The Highland scenery around Forfar is proper lovely, and if you're staying at Greenhillock Glamping just up the road, you could slot this in as an alternative to another walk. Worth ringing ahead to check opening times and what services they're actually offering on the day you visit - it's not a slick tourist operation. If you're dogless and not interested in dog training, honestly, it won't hold your attention for more than twenty minutes.
